Fat Girls and Feeders

PervScan - Fat Girls and Feeders: "Fat Girls and Feeders
- From the Fetish, BBW - Big Beautiful Women Department
Welcome to the weird world of fat erotica, a sexual subculture where FAs (fat admirers) seek out huge women. Fair enough - different strokes for different folks. A welcome antidote, even, to society's obsession with thinness. And the women here do talk of how liberating it is to be considered attractive after years of being mocked and shunned. But there's a dark side to all of this. Within the FA community there are men known as 'feeders', who encourage their partners to gorge themselves to become as fat as humanely possible. And the fatter these women get, the more dependent they become, relying on the men to wash them, move them and, of course, feed them. It's all about control and dominance - the familiar dynamics of any abusive relationship. - Sydney Morning Herald (Australia)
(Thanks to alanr for the link. Alanr also points out that there is some interesting background in the 'About Feeder'section of this feeders web site.)
At first sight there is something deeply shocking about fat girls and feeders. It's one thing to admire girls with Rubens-like figures, it's another to want them to become human behemoths, mountains of flesh. Who could find that attractive? Is there something sexual about it? How do the feeder and the fat girl consummate their relationship? Do they have sex? How do you find an orifice hidden in those mounds of flesh? Or does the guy just jerk off in front of her, like a sculptor in love with his creation?
On reflection, though, the shock wears off. It is not as though this fetish is without parallel. It calls to mind Chinese foot-binding, in that it incapacitates a woman in order to fetishize her. It also calls to mind necrophilia and coprophilia"
